Quick bit of Arithmetic shoes...and these are very ball-park figures...that if we hadn't eaten or drunk anything or lived anywhere or paid any taxes most of us would be Millionaires??
Take £20,000 (very low assessment of average wage for most of us...including the lower rates earlier in the 70's 80's etc).
And multiply by 45 years (Guessing Averge-ish Adult working life.
=£900,000
A number of us have blown nearly a Million in our lifetimes??:beer:

My net worth is presently10 billion dollars.
Unfortuntately, it's in the hyperinflationary Zimbabwean dollars, rather than in USD........:rotfl:
Market rate for a 10 billion dollar banknote as a curio? A couple of quid.Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

Not sure if I'm being a bit dim here but if we never ate , were housed etc . Our life would be of very small duration and our chances of becoming millionaires non existent .

can't wait til i earn £20k pa
maybe the year before I retire0 -
as a pensioner I have never earned 20k in my life plus the idea that pensions would ever reach the giddy hight of even 15k would be great, but luckily I am quite happy with my lot and have a roof over my head and food in the cupboard and reasonably good health and a fantastic family who love me so I am not unhappy with lfe, I can live without being a millionaire0
